Okay thank you. I look forward to the challenge of having more scrubs rain down poorly taken three's on me lol.

And by the way, I am in no way saying everyone who shoots a lot of 3's is a scrub. I've had my arse handed to me by a dude who set up nice shots and I just didn't have an answer. He was just playing good basketball.

Nonetheless, the people who jack up three's (who seem to be the large majority for some reason) should be happy.

There's two schools of thought when it comes to that approach the rosters, because I think there is value in reflecting the most recent line-ups. For what it's worth, they are updating within an hour of the game finishing, so LeBron is back in the line-up in the game now.

A better compromise would be to allow us to customise the line-ups and re-activate those players for Tip Off games if desired.

But if you play a basic, run of the mill quick game you have no option but to use the current real life rosters. It's just silly. Quick games should not be affected by any real life injuries. That's what season, dynasty modes are for.

... if we choose that way at least.

So right now, if your favourite player goes down in real life with a season ending injury, you will never be able to play as him in a quick game.

That is a huge oversight. We pay $60 ($100 where I am) for these games, we should have the option to use real life rosters or not.

Dynasty shouldn't necessarily be affected by real life injuries, either.

Ideally, the option should be there for all modes. Even if they're out of the line-up by default for Tip Off, you should be able to change the line-up and bring them back in before the game starts. I understand what they're going for, and it's a good idea in theory, but doesn't work out as well without customisation options.

I played a game and a half when I got home, the percentages are on point, much more balanced (Xbox One), I don't have the official patch yet, but I'm noticing difference in a lot of things such as animations in the paint, and much quicker game play, smoother game play, something had to update, I hope the patch is out when I get up, cause my experience in those games and a half were pretty nice and realistic. I play 8 min quarters!!

Yeah that sucked in Live 10 when I couldn't play as CP3 in Live run because he was hurt until after the season was over and they brought everyone back from injury.

Also, I played some UT today and although contested layups were missing more (which is nice) the easy buckets I used to get off of playing good defense are missing too. I got annihilated twice by that Celtics legend team. Very frustrating. Reminds me of stuff I hated about 2k. And a lot of these layups and dunks are getting blocked now too. I played the challenge against an all pg team and they outblocked me 6-2. Seems a lit more difficult to play competitively with bad bronze players

Also, green wide open great release 3s are missing more too, which is bullshit because the computer is still hitting theirs on the other end. Didn't notice smoother shot animations as advertised but noticed a ton of new animations including new free throw animations.

Oh and tonight I had 2 shots hit the back of the backboard which never happened until the update.

I don't know if anything's changed or if I adjusted but it seems to be playing a little better. There's that cool block off the backboard animation added. I don't like that there are now instances where shots go off the back of the backboard or off the bottom of the rim now. Seems like they really focused on contested shot ratings as there's more missed open 3s and layups by players with low ratings

Live 2015 isn't gonna happen in my circle until they add the ability to actually edit rosters. They can make this game appear as real as a live tv game and it won't matter for us. I just cannot believe you can't edit rosters. This shouldn't have been released until 2016 the way it is now. Sad really. I've been a fan since 1998. Oh well, gonna check out 2K's game I guess.

Seems Microsoft are in no rush to approve the patches for NBA Live 15 or NBA 2K15. Not much you can do except wait for them to get that done unfortunately, as EA and 2K have done their part. My condolences.
